Testimonials

"After weeks of worrying about going for respite thinking I was going into care, I couldn't have been more wrong about Tyddyn Bach. I was met at the station by a warm greeting and smiley face, bags carried and my mind set at ease almost immediately. The house was loverly and nothing as I have expected - I felt at home as I walked through the door. It was warm and cosy and I knew I could just be myself. Everyone was just so friendly all very naturally no putting on an act for my benefit, just naturally welcoming and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. My room was huge with a double bed and fantastic view of the sea; I felt so at home. The food was wonderful and I put on almost 4 pounds (the many homemade cakes won't have helped). I cannot recommend this place enough. I arrived stressed, very tired and emotional and left focussed and calm. Its not a nursing home and its not a sterile hotel - its my new sancturay by the sea where I have friends".

About Tyddyn Bach
About Us

Tyddyn Bach Trust offers a number of services providing practical and emotional support to those living with chronic and life-limiting conditions including HIV in the U.K. along with their partners, carers or children. The services offered are based at Tyddyn Bach with our outreach programme serving a wider North Wales Community.

The community within the centre is strong and dynamic, and we pride ourselves on the friendships made between clients & staff. As a non-medical centre, Tyddyn Bach focuses on warmth and homeliness; a welcoming environment to rest and recuperate at your own pace and a place where you can just be yourself. Staff and volunteers are on hand should you need help, support and friendship, but equally you can have your own space to rest, read and do your own thing; if you are energetic perhaps a walk in the hills, the beach or even shops, what ever you enjoy

Location

Tyddyn Bach is a large Edwardian house with extensive grounds situated on the beautiful North Wales coast, within walking distance of Penmaenmawr and the beach along with all the essential amenities. The first impression one has on arrival is a far cry from that of the usual cold, impersonal clinic.

Please contact us for further information.

Our Ethos

Tyddyn Bach is about YOU being able to be yourself, unrushed, relaxed and about YOU absorbing the peace and tranquility and embrace that is all around here. Other than mealtimes the rest of the day is open for you to do what you want to. There are no demands made upon you interact if you don't want to but volunteers and guests are here to chat and spend time with if you want to be more gregarious. Respite here doesn't mean group counselling sessions, clinical intrusion or impersonal staff - WE ARE NOT A CARE HOME. We are about you regaining mental and physical strength to refind yourself move forward with more of a smile; knowing that friends are here to support you whatever.
